He's sucked for <i>years</i>. Now he's had one good month playing practice baseball, and we want to anoint him our everyday guy?

Keep Fuk.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

It doesn't take much away from your point, but Colvin had a fantastic year at AA last year. It's not just his spring training.

Hmmm...Colvin had a .332 OBP last year, despite playing a portion of the year in A-ball.
Up at Double A, his OBP was .334.
For a corner OFer, that would suck in the <i>majors</i>, much less the low minors.

I consider you one of the foremost authorities on our farm guys, Scarey, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you that a .334 OBP in AA is fantastic. I'm guessing that translates to about a .300 OBP in MLB, which is like the Mendoza line for getting on base.

Trading him is a neat thought, but we would need a big time replacement in return. Colvin might have the goods...........but can he take a pitch? Can he make adjustments?

We know what we are getting w/ Fukudome.

We have no idea what we are getting with Colvin just yet.

We need some dollars to afford some of these guys.
